Well, this is a surprise. Several websites have a preview up of Apple's next Mac OS X release - it's called Mountain Lion, and continues the trend of bringing over functionality from iOS to Mac OS X. Lots of cool stuff in here we've all seen before on iPhones and iPads, including one very, very controversial feature: Gatekeeper. Starting with Mac OS X 10.8, Apple's desktop operating system will be restricted to Mac App Store and Apple-signed applications by default (with an opt-out switch), following in Windows 8's footsteps.

My only question is, after spending $1000+ dollars on a Mac, who owns it, Apple, or me? If it's Apple, then I expect them to buy it for me and I'll pay only a nominal leasing fee. Otherwise, hands off Apple!!!
